Georgetown has managed to stay pretty creative with their basketball promotions. The past few years, they’ve had things like kale caesar salad giveaways, and filling the student section with non-students.
Monday, yet another promotion was announced, and this time, it involved marriage proposals.
The proposal package that will be available before and after games, allows you to pop the question at a Georgetown game. In the package, you can work with a proposal planner to develop a special surprise proposal, two seats for the game with additional ones across the arena for guests, custom engagement shirts, as well as a photographer.

The best part of it, is that you get your money back if they say no.
Georgetown marketing director Chris Grosse told Yahoo that because they get requests for proposals at games, they decided to put together a package. He also touches on the money back guarantee:
“We get calls once in awhile from people wanting to propose at games, but I never saw anything really put in stone about it, like an official package for it,” Georgetown marketing director Chris Grosse said. “We tried to put together a package of the best things we can offer. We released it before single-game tickets went on sale so that people have plenty of time to plan.”

“If this person truly says no, you’re feeling down in the dumps,” Grosse said. “Let’s try to reward you somehow. You can at least get your money back to try to recoup some of that. It’s a way we can give back in case it doesn’t go well.”
The best idea, is to not propose at a sporting event at all. It takes away from the intimacy of the moment, and it’s also a hell of a lot of pressure to put on your significant other. Don’t do it.
